Scholarship
Alma Cooper Hawkins Scholarship
The Fellowship established the Alma Cooper Hawkins Scholarship in June 1989, with the purpose of encouraging and motivating students to academic achievements and Christian excellence. The first scholarship was awarded in June 1990. In her last Will and Testament, Trustee Hawkins bequeathed $5,000 to the Fellowship for the scholarship fund. Numerous awards have been made from this fund to which each member contributes annually.
